I Become A Staff Officer In The Demon Army, But I Can Only Do Office Work! - Volume 1 Chapter 18

1-2-8 (The Management of Working hours is also the Boss obligation)

What is the supply status of Gellaga area military force?

The amount of Red stones for winter use there is a bit of worrying. Since we saw only a little battle in the southern region of Velonia, which in turn they only consume a little number of magic stones, we could divert it from there

Winter in Gellaga region is a bit tough, and the supply route also weak. Please do arrange everything before the snow falls

Understood.

Good then Eri-san, how is the situation concerning the procurement of supplies?

Everything is according to plan. As for the details

The logistics department which was a lonely place was not filled with a lively voice now.

The number of people gradually increased. As the doc.u.ments and desk job increased day by day, we also increased our workforce.

I guess I should be happy about this

Some people complained because those volunteers and recruits who had superior office workability always ended up in the logistics department, though those complaints were still within acceptable range.

The problem for me was why 80% of the new workers were women.

There was an elf lady, halfling lady, fox lady, Orc lady, dwarf lady, werewolf lady, and even angel lady

I saw a fair amount of fantasy tribe girls here

Well, we do have some men here However, it felt like a girls-only school turns into a co-ed school because of a declining birth rate

Did you think I felt blessed with this situation? Truthfully I felt a headache

I do want to create a logistic department, not actually a harem

As usual, Sofisan who was my adjutant and always being near me immediately given me an answer after listening to my muttering

Akirsama, I thought this was your wish?

What kind of a person do you think am I?

A weird human being?

Please dont say that with such straight face

It hurt a little bit

As usual, I guess But, somehow, I felt her words were sharper than usual

Maybe because of acc.u.mulated stress??

Looking outside of the windows the sun was about to set, and it was time for us to end our work for today

I then looked on the worker duty list placed on the table and check the officers who had watch duty for today, turn out it was Sofisan and me

Did we have no problem with a man and a woman spending a night together like this?

Normally that question would be answered with, problems That was why I wanted to employ some men. And other than me, we have no other male officer.

Ive asked Her Majesty about this, and she said

There was hardly any man who wants to volunteers to work a desk job right now, most of the men want to be sent to the front line and become a hero. That is why there are mostly women who join the logistic department And as I said before, transferring personnel from other departments is difficult right now So be patient for a bit

That was what she said

It cant be helped since I couldnt do anything to that

Well, we do have non-commission officer thus we somehow could avoid having a man and woman alone most of the time

The problem right now was Sofisan working hours

Well, I guess we should end our work here for today Everyone may go back home except those who have watch duty. In that regard, Eri-san, do you have a moment?

What is it, Director?

Today, are you free?

Is this a date invitation?! Of course, Im free!

Thats not it

Eeeeh~

No, that was not how you should answer me, you know? Also, youre going to agree if it was a date?!

Akirsama, please dont try to seduce our subordinates in front of me

Like I said, that was not it!

True, if a man asked a woman Are you free today? they would think of it as date invitation but, this time I have a proper reason for asking her that question

Today watch duty, do you mind change place with Sofisan?

This time, it was Sofisan who was standing right next to me who reacted

Akirsama? I didnt ask for a day off?

No, it would be better if Sofisan took a day off for today

Recently, I felt she overwork herself

Since the number of people had increased, I have set up a holiday twice a week properly. However, Sofisan often asked to stay

I never asked her to work overtime, in truth, I said to her that she could go back home, but most of the time she would answer me with I still have work to do, or Do you not want me to be here?

Her answer made me wonder if Sofisan have the personality that she wont go back home if she hasnt finished her job

But then, if Sofisan died due to overwork, it wont just end up as a bad dream, but rather h.e.l.l

Even if I have to be a bit forceful, I need her to not overwork herself.

Besides, recently, Sofisans face looked pale

B-By any chance, do you hate me for being here?

No, in fact, when Sofisan is by my side, I feel secure when it comes to our work progress, thats why I like to have Sofisan by my side always

Sofisan work processing speed was terrific.

She works several times faster than I did

However, if that ended up breaking your body, virtually that would be like losing half of myself

Thinking about it, she always by my side since I was stranded in this strange world.

6 month had already pa.s.sed since the first time I met her Meanwhile, were always working without end

Thats why I want you to take some rest

When I turned around, there I saw Sofisan with blushing red face for some reason.

Huh? Did she catch a cold or something?

Director, no matter how beautiful Sofisan is, could you stop seducing her magnificently like that in front of this Onee-san?

What do you mean by seducing? I asked Sofisan to take some rest?!

I didnt say anything strange Or so that was what I thought

But Eri-san took the situation differently She pushed up her gla.s.ses with cool pose

Well, the situation aside Since I have a lot of breaks because I was a newcomer, Im fine exchange duty for a day

She gives it a go

Im glad I thought she would say no, if that happens, I didnt know what to do then

B-But, Akirsama Even if Im told to take a day off, this is too sudden, what am I supposed to do?

Well, you can sleep at home, or maybe have some fun with friends, or drinking some alcohol?

B-But

Even for the j.a.panese, it would be weird to want to work if they were asked to take some rest.

Eri-san then clasps her hands as if she find some solution to this situation

Yurie, you still here?!

I do~

Brown hand was raised from a desk little away from where we were Although it was because of her small size, because we could only saw her hand, it felt like a horror movie instead

Youre free today right?

Please dont remind me! Yes, Im free

Fumu

was she going to ask the cheerful Yurie-san to spend the holiday with Sofisan?

I thought that would be a good idea. However, it seems I was wrong.

You, can you take the director place for today?

Huh? Why?!

Me and Yurie-san voice overlapped.

Eri-san I didnt ask for a vacation you know?

Eri! I didnt ask for extra work you know?

We also said that at the same time

However, Eri-san ignored Yurie-san and answered my question. Meanwhile, Yurie-san comes closer while complaining

Director To me, just like Sofisan, you look overworked yourself

Huh? Really?

Yes, really Being a director, overwork is a commonplace, not only your own work, but you also have to a.s.sist the newcomer with our job, but recently, youve been doing that a lot, no?

Well, true, I was a bit busy, but you know, Im the Director after all

Of course, I need the newcomer to have an easy time for starter If I asked them to work a lot from the start, they might end up wanting to quit immediately

And besides, I was the one who increased the logistic department work, so I was responsible

That is wrong you know? Director, listen If you dont take some rest, it would be hard for the subordinates to take some rest as well you know?

Guh

If the Boss didnt take the initiative, the subordinates wouldnt move either Fumu, I should be careful next time

But, even so, to ask Yurie-san take my place?

Director asked me to take Sofisan place out of the blue, no?

Well, I dont mind if you refuse it you know? Instead I

No, I dont mind with the job, please take some rest

Emm, Akirsama, Eri-san. If that is the case, how about both of you take some rest and I

Sofisan please be silent!!

This is about me no?

Oi, what happened with me taking over Directors watch duty?!

Y-Yurie-chan please calm down I-If that the case, I-I will also help!

Rina, youre here? I dont feel your presence

Fueee
